An Excerpt:
She
pushed the conversation away from her work. “I’ve been reading a little about what
you do. Do you really deploy for six months at a time?”
“Yeah,
sometimes longer, rarely less. And sometimes we spend weeks training out in the
desert, or days training out there somewhere.” He nodded toward the water. “Or
twenty-five thousand feet above, like on Monday. But then we’ll have spells
where we’re working nine to five just like anyone else.”
“And you
can’t talk about what you do.”
“Not
where we’ve been, or what we do while we’re deployed, or even some of the
training we do.”
Piper
wiggled around to look up at him. She couldn’t imagine how anyone lived under
such restrictions. “Doesn’t it get lonely?”
“Yeah,
it does.” His green gaze shot past her out to the water. “You may want to try
to keep your emotional distance and keep things light between us. Six months
can be a long time.”
She
experienced that dropping sensation in the pit of her stomach again. “Is that
what you do, keep things light?”
“I’ve
tried it the other way. A woman I was really serious about dumped me while I
was deployed. She couldn’t take the separations. And she couldn’t wait to tell
me when I got home because she was already pregnant with some other guy’s baby
and needed to move on.”
A knot lodged
in her throat. “How could she have done that?”
He
focused on her, shaking his head. “I can give you quality instead of quantity,
Piper. When I’m here with you, I’ll be here all the way. When I’m deployed, I
have to be there, with no distractions. Otherwise I might put someone’s life in
danger. My team’s, or mine.”
Hearing
his dispassionate tone, the hard edge to it, made her ache for him. She’d seen
the warmth of his smile, the amusement gleaming in his eyes when he told her
funny stories, the generosity he was capable of. He’d saved Gracie’s life and was
using his downtime to care for her. He’d offered to install better security
hardware at the office. That hard edge didn’t fit in with the rest, but she understood
how it had to be because of what he did for a living.
She
rested back against him and felt the steady rise and fall of his chest. He was
so alive. Had such energy, even injured. He made her feel alive again.
She
cupped her hand over his, resting against the curve of her abdomen. She wanted
to guide his hand lower and feel his touch between her thighs. The ache of need
had her drawing a slow breath. She tried to concentrate on the movement of the
water and think of anything else besides that, but her legs trembled and she gritted
her teeth so they wouldn’t chatter.
“Are you
cold?” Zach’s voice, low and husky, sounded like a growl against her ear.
“No.”
She was on fire and he hadn’t even touched her. Just the idea was almost enough
to send her over the edge.
She
turned to look up at him. The intensity of his bright green gaze pierced hers,
his throat working when he swallowed, then cupped her cheek and lowered his
mouth to hers. The corded muscles of his neck, lay against her palm, and the
rich feel and taste of his lips and tongue tangled with hers.
Piper’s
bones turned to liquid, an exquisite lassitude taking possession of her
muscles. His erection pressed against her hip. They were both breathing hard
when he broke the kiss.
She
smiled at his flushed cheeks and brushed her fingertips against his beard
stubble.
His hand
skimmed up her arm to her hand and he turned his lips against her palm.
“It’s
been a long time since I’ve felt this way,” she said.
“Me too.”
She
doubted it had been three years for him. The pathetic dates she’d been on. The
two men she’d really tried with had been in too big a rush to get to the finish
line to realize she needed their patience as much as anything else. The one
she’d tried the hardest with dumped her after a month. She had too many
hang-ups. She was too much work in bed.
She
truly believed it could be different with Zach. She wanted it to be different.
Zach
wasn’t a drug-hyped twenty-two-year-old. He had control. He made her feel safe.

Navy SEAL Zach
O’Connor was dumped while he was deployed on a high-risk mission, and the
fallout from the breakup nearly cost him his career. Never again will Zach
allow his feelings to make him lose sight of what really matters. Not even when
his attraction to Piper Bertinelli makes him long for the very thing he’s vowed
to avoid.
Violence and
heartache have nearly shattered Dr. Piper Bertinelli’s life, and the last thing
she needs is to be attracted to a military man scheduled to deploy. Though all
Zach wants is a distraction instead of a commitment, Piper is unable to resist
the charismatic Naval officer. He makes her feel safe, something more seductive
to her than him being a SEAL.
When an
overzealous policeman from Piper’s past comes after her, Zach has to make a
decision: walk away from the woman who's cracked the shell he built around
his heart, or stick by her and possibly risk his career.
And there are
other hurdles to face: the family who drove Piper away, but whose
secrets may hold the key to understanding why her father was
killed. And someone who’s a greater danger to Piper’s life than
an angry cop. The man responsible for it all.
